"Poll" Dancing

Anybody watching and listening to the news here in Israel, or what passes for news but is actually the expression of personal political ideology by the newscasters, the interviewers and the commentators, knows that they all sneer at Bibi Netanyahu and mention, in a very annoying fashion his dependence on polls (after all, every politician utilizes polls). Even Arik Sharon deprecates Bibi for his 'poll' mentality.

So, what do I find buried in this Haaretz story?

That Arik's advisers:

"warn Sharon against being wooed by misleading surveys that speak of a victory for him if he heads a new party."


What, Old Man Sharon uses polls? Employs advisers?
